Aharon's Ark

Aharon's Ark: "Today too many of us live life like the flock.
There is no sharing in the flock, and constant pushing and shoving. From the little research I have already done on Chekhov, he was greatly concerned about the rights of man, as mentioned in The Seagull.

My personal belief is that there is no shortage of wealth in this nation, as well as in the world. Political theorists would have us believe that the economy of our country has taken a major downturn simply because perhaps a handful of the wealthiest have lost a few poorly placed bets on the great economic roulette wheel of 'high tech stocks'.

Our nation's leader would now have you believe the same 'voodoo economy' nonsense that his party predecessors have promoted.

Many armchair critics have already sited the president's agenda as nothing short of class war.
I suppose I could go on with this thread but do not want alienate too many of my potential readers...

Low-carbohydrate diet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Low-carbohydrate diet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Low-carbohydrate diets or low-carb diets are dietary programs that restrict carbohydrate consumption usually for weight control. Foods high in digestible carbohydrates (e.g. breads, pasta) are limited or replaced with foods containing a higher percentage of proteins and fats (e.g. meats, soy products) and often other foods low in carbohydrates (e.g. green leafy vegetables).
The precise definition of low-carbohydrate diets varies greatly. The term is most commonly used to refer to ketogenic diets, i.e. diets that restrict carbohydrate intake sufficiently to cause ketosis like the Atkins diet,[1][2][3] but some sources consider less restrictive variants to be low-carbohydrate as well.[4]
Apart from obesity, low-carbohydrate diets are often discussed as treatments for some other conditions, most notably diabetes[5][6][7] and epilepsy,[8][9][10] although these treatments still remain controversial and lack widespread support."
